The TWO RED LINES that CHANGED EVERYTHING CHAPTER 11- Scrap the contract
CHAPTER 11...SHARON'S POV...I leaned my head back against the pillows of my California hotel room, staring at the ceiling in complete disarray.What on earth was wrong with me? Why couldn't I just take the bull by the horns and tell him everything? I had successfully managed to avoid him for an entire month, but once this project wrapped up, I would have to return to his house. How did I intend to avoid him then?What if I tell him the truth and he asks me to get rid of it? What if he doesn't believe me, or has no intention of staying with me long-term?I couldn't let myself get attached. But the terrifying reality was that I was starting to feel attached, and it felt entirely wrong. He had explicitly stated in our contract: no falling in love. How foolish could I be to think our situation would be any different? Every contract marriage ended eventually, and we had just over a month left before ours expired. What was I supposed to do?Whether it was the pregnancy hormones spiking or
The TWO RED LINES that CHANGED EVERYTHING CHAPTER 10 - HER ABSENCE
CHAPTER 10... RUSSELL'S POVI stared blankly at my phone, then back at the empty living room.It had been a month since Sharon and I visited her parents. Ever since she was appointed CEO of her father’s company, I had barely seen her. The very next day after our visit was a Monday, and Sharon plunged into work almost immediately. There was no transition, no lingering honeymoon phase; she just dove straight in. I only found out through a text message she sent the following morning after she had already left for the office.Left entirely alone in the house, I eventually got called back to work myself. I signed a contract for a serialized film project that kept me incredibly busy, but I still made it my sole responsibility to come home every night and cook for Sharon. Unfortunately, she was constantly away on business trips. Her appearances at home dwindled to just two or three times a week.Now, I sat alone in the living room, racking my brain to figure out exactly what went wrong. We
The TWO RED LINES that CHANGED EVERYTHING CHAPTER 9 - VISIT TO THE WALKERS
CHAPTER 9Minutes Later...RUSSELL'S POVWe arrived at the Walker estate. It was a modest, charming property, surrounded by beautiful antique decor and lush gardens that gave off a serene vibe. It was exactly the kind of place I imagined Sharon growing up in, though the atmosphere felt a bit too cold for someone with her vibrant personality.Guided by one of the household staff, we walked out toward the poolside, where a beautifully set dinner table awaited. Mr. Walker, his wife, and his son were already seated."Good evening, Mr. and Mrs. Walker," I greeted politely as we approached."Hey, Dad!" Sharon chimed in quickly, clearly trying to keep the atmosphere from turning awkward.Mr. Walker stood up and walked over to us, extending his hand toward me. "Welcome to the family, Russell," he said, his tone entirely unreadable, his hand suspended in the air.I immediately gripped his hand, offering a polite smile. "The pleasure is all mine."He gestured toward the table, signaling for us
The TWO RED LINES that CHANGED EVERYTHING CHAPTER 8 - VISIT TO THE MILLERS
CHAPTER 8...RUSSELL'S POVI stared at Sharon from across the living room, guilt eating me alive. The clear, unfiltered vision of that night replayed in my mind like a horror movie.It was her. It had always been her.How could I have done that to her and not remembered? I thought, utterly disgusted by my own past irresponsibility. I should never have gone to that club. Betty had practically dragged me there, but I knew deep down this was no time to play the blame game. Sharon didn't deserve any of this. To make matters worse, I hadn't even recognized her during our first real encounter. I shut my eyes tightly, overwhelmed by frustration.Will she ever forgive me if I confess that I was the guy in the jacket? What if she’s already decided to raise this child alone, without any man claiming rights? Will she walk away from me if I tell her the truth right now? The anxious questions swirled endlessly in my head."Russell, you're not eating?" Sharon's voice drifted over from the dining ta
The TWO RED LINES that CHANGED EVERYTHING CHAPTER 7 - THE JACKET
CHAPTER 7...SHARON’S POVI woke up feeling lighter, less burdened by the guilt that had been weighing me down over the past few weeks. It was a new day. Think positive, act positive, I reminded myself.Speaking of positive, I was desperately hoping Russell had woken up in a better mood too. It would be incredibly awkward if he kept giving me the cold shoulder, especially after I apologized yesterday. I brushed the anxious thoughts aside and rushed into the bathroom.After freshening up and changing into a simple, casual outfit, I stepped out into the living room. Immediately, the mouth-watering aroma wafting from the kitchen hit me.Once again, trying to show off his master-chef talents, I thought, a smile already tugging at my lips.I walked toward the dining table and stopped dead in my tracks. To my absolute shock, the table was overflowing with a massive variety of dishes. It looked like a full-blown feast was taking place in Russell’s home, and I hadn’t received the memo."Good
The TWO RED LINES that CHANGED EVERYTHING CHAPTER 6- THE CLUB FOOTAGE
CHAPTER 6...SHARON’S POVI forced myself to breathe, pulling my scattered thoughts together before picking up my phone from the floor.With trembling fingers, I pressed play. The video rolled. Gary stepped out of the club's restroom lobby, his face mashed against a woman who was definitely not me. They kissed hungrily, a desperate, frantic exchange that lasted for agonizing minutes until Gary pulled the mysterious woman into the restroom area—where the cameras couldn't follow.Tears blurred my vision as I replayed the clip, my hands shaking so violently I could barely hold the device. I kept watching, desperately hoping the image would morph into someone else, begging my brain to convince me that the man onscreen wasn't Gary. But every single time the video looped, the reality remained the same.From the dining area, Russell noticed me unraveling. Realizing I was frantically losing my mind over whatever was on the screen, he rushed over and snatched the phone from my hands, forcing m

CHAPTER 2...RUSSELL'S POVI stared curiously at the woman standing in front of me, desperate questions racing through my mind.Will she agree to do it? Is she here to cancel her wedding, or is she trying to save it?Before I could spiral further, the event planner’s voice broke the silence. "Oh, M

CHAPTER 1 ...SHARON'S POVI sat helplessly on the cold bathroom floor, staring at the plastic pregnancy test strip lying between my feet.Tears rolled down my cheeks, hot and unstoppable.What the hell did I just do?How could I have made such a ruinous mistake just weeks before my wedding? My min
The TWO RED LINES that CHANGED EVERYTHING CHAPTER 5 - LIVE-IN RULES
CHAPTER 5...SHARON'S POVI blinked hard, trying to process his questions."I don't have a choice but to keep it. The doctor advised me to," I said, my voice dropping to a low murmur as the specialist's words flashed vividly in my mind: “Your egg count is nearly depleted. By the time you are ready

CHAPTER 3...SHARON’S POVThe wedding was finally over, and the guests had dispersed back to their respective lives. Now, I was left to deal with the aftermath: my father and my best friends."And just like that, you bring a stranger home?" Dad fired angrily, his glare so piercing I felt like I’d m
